Celebrating 125 Years: County Spotlights Across Northwest Washington

Snohomish County

As part of Compass Health’s 125th anniversary, we’re highlighting each of our counties and the role they play in our story.   

Compass Health began more than a century ago with the opening of The Parkland Lutheran Children’s Home in 1902. In 1922, the home moved to Everett, establishing what would later become our Federal Avenue Campus. Over the years, the organization evolved into the Luther Child Center and later LifeNet Health. In October 1997, Counterpoint, Family Counseling, and LifeNet Health consolidated to form Compass Health, creating the organization that continues to serve Snohomish County today.  

In 2025, Snohomish County is our largest service area, where more than 400 hundred team members support over 7,000 individuals and families each year through outpatient care, crisis services, supportive housing, integrated healthcare, and more.  

As we celebrate 125 years of service, we are proud to reflect on the partnerships, communities, and people who have shaped our journey in Snohomish County and helped build the foundation of our services across Northwest Washington.
